At home and the world, comfort me with apples. Strengthen me with raisins…or arroz con pollo, pierogi, pelmeni, pigeon peas and rice, curried veggies, Caribbean trifle, blintzes and blinis, krumkaker, Kibbeh or clam bellies.In uncertain times we all want to wrap ourselves up in the familiar flavors of home—and in our borough of Brooklyn, home is the whole world. This Thanksgiving holiday the Brooklyn Museum Library and Archives invites you to sample some delicious books/dishes from our collection. Take a seat by the fire next to a friend and explore the neighborhoods and food ways of Brooklyn with The Brooklyn Cookbook. If you’re looking for a recipe for Marce-Pain (a.k.a. Marzipan), turn to page 321. The original recipe, hand written in Dutch, was found in our own library collection!If you’re still craving more, browse early American recipes for catfish soup, corn dumplings, boiled cider pie and Boston brown bread with America Eats: Forms of Edible Folk Art. Get cozy with The Confectioner’s Art published by the American Craft Museum. Who knew that you could do so much with marzipan? Explore exquisite depictions of food in art with Art with Art and appetite : American painting, culture, and cuisine. Flip through the fanciful stories and recipes in The Artists’ and Writers’ Cookbook and try Manil Suri’s “Tempted by the Fruit,” Jessica Stoller’s “Male Gaze Macarons,” or how about Brooklyn-based artist Swoon’s “Ratatouille on the Mississippi.”Wherever you are—Brighton Beach, Crown Heights, Coney Island, Sheepshead Bay, or anywhere beyond Brooklyn—we all need our comfort foods. Take care and have a Happy Holiday!Posted by Roberta Munoz Photo/GIF by Brooke Baldeschwiler  -- source link
